You just established/proved here that what you said in your OP was either disinformation, or a lie.
Laissez-faire capitalism, a.k.a. Free Market economics is the exact opposite of communism/socialism. It is based upon incentive versus compulsion~coercion~elitism privileged which is the foundation of most all other economic-government systems. NOTE that most government systems exist to regulate economic systems; creation and distribution of wealth.

Laissez-faire capitalism is based upon incentive and reward in proportion to effort, investment, and other factor chosen by the participants. Those whom want Liberty and Prosperity to produce via their own efforts and keep most of it for themselves usually want a laissez-faire capitalism or free enterprise system of capitalism, versus something like state-sanctioned(and controlled) pseudo capitalism such as we see in CCP China. Usually it is those whom are lazy, inefficient, unproductive, or incompetent and seek to receive more than they are worth or have earned.

Right-wing conservatism, in USA political speak, is the ideological and governmental position taken by those whom want to have free market, incentive and proportional reward economics; such as laissez-faire capitalism. Their position is don't change what isn't broke, especially just for the sake of change. They understand and are willing to accept that if you do more you should get more, do less and get less. Either way and man-up to that reality. If you just want to work a job 40 hours a week understand it may not gain you as much wealth as say starting a business, putting in 60-80 hours a week and making more money, creating more wealth. Key is to be mature enough to accept the difference in what one puts in and what they can reasonably expect to get out of such.

As I said, this post of yours I quote~respond to shows that your OP=Opening Post is not truthful or accurate. You remain a socialist/communist at heart, and in your mind, ethics, morals, etc.

Here's a website you may want to visit to get a more precise gauge where you are at regards economics and government types. When you take the quiz you need to be honest with your self. It isn't a contest to compare/compete with others; it is for information and insight of yourself. While they offer an interactive on-line way to take the test, you could key your answers on paper if you want to do the following for a more accurate result. While the test offers answers and points at: A(Agree)-20; M(Maybe)-10; D(Disagree)-0 which you sum and mark on the grid; you could choose something in-between and get more adjusted result. Example, if you are mixed between Agree and Maybe, record 15 points on your paper (12 or 17, etc.)

That would be nice if it were true. Every seven to twelve years the government has to bail out the big-money capitalists with public funds, preventing the economy from collapsing and causing even more hardship for everyone. Capitalism always leads to cronyism, it's endemic in the system. Without a government authority, there's no modern monetary system or infrastructure, allowing commerce to function.

As advanced automation technology replaces wage-labor, the need for adopting a non-profit system of production will become more apparent, until it becomes a necessity. Why do you think all of these billionaires are pleading with the government to bail them out by providing consumers with a UBI i.e. Universal Basic Income? That UBI according to some analysts who are promoting it, can be as high as $3000 monthly. Can you imagine the US federal government sending $3000 monthly checks to hundreds of millions of Americans? That's the degree of public assistance that the capitalists are begging the government for to save capitalism from collapsing once the advance automation replaces millions of jobs.





















 
That's too dumb to even merit a response. You opened your bait thread claiming you were no longer a Communist. So what are you now? This ought to be good. :abgg2q.jpg:
As I explained, I'm a realist. Capitalism has its place until technology creates the conditions for another system.
 
The OP’s question has been answered. If you want to have discussions of capitalism versus communism, etc. we have the rest of the form for that. Thanks
